The tune was for pump gas however so there is more that can be had form this setup with race gas, a new tune, and more boost. Video and timeslip below, congrats again to Weistec for great work pushing AMG platforms.

Feel free to post about it. M113K has never been our most popular section and it's an older platform with an established forum obviously.

If its an old platform, then why doesn't Wiestec leave it alone? Instead they charge $9k for a "kit" that still doesn't cool properly and you would more than likely need meth to keep cool.
I don't think for that kind of money a person should have to purchase additional cooling. We do this already with the stock sc since its like an oven.

Because people asked for an SC upgrade? The stock blower is a pile of junk. This 3.0 liter KILLS IT.

Hey mate,
I'll be honest with you. I've had the Kleemann K4 on my SL55 since 2005, and the car has been running great, @0-60Motorsports got a me custom tune done two years back with "Evolve", and the car was running great, but I still knew the car could handle more power but since the M113K ALONE had so many supercharger problems no one would bother modding to the extreme, Kleemann launched their Kleemann Xtreme and that was producing the same power as mine, with the standard supercharger from AMG. And if you're an AMG owner, you should know that the lifeline of any supercharged Benz is limited, 10 or 15 years max then it goes bang. Weistec did their research and I feel they did a wonderful job with their supercharger. Their quality of work was amazing (I'm in the production business so I know how tough their job can be at such limited quantities and sticking to that $9k price tag). The supercharger I think was half the weight of the AMG one (AMG S/C weighs almost close to 44kg, and I weighed this myself).

Had NO cooling issues at all with the car, and even though I didn't have any cooling issues I had still asked for the SpeedDriven H/E kit.

And if you want to compare the prices with the Kleemann K4 package and Weistec, I don't know about the states, but the K4 package costed me an arm and a leg, and maybe even a liver. Wiestec were 9k and the performance it delivered was outstanding, I'm using only 91 octane, and the heat here in the summer gets close to 50C and I'm still whopping ZR1s and LP640s. I'm not taking any sides here either with Weistec or the rest, but from my personal experience, weistec deserve an award for their customer service, my satisfaction and the special requests I had with the mods and the performance figures. I own a coupe of supercars and exotics, and for my SL55 to cope up with them and even beat them (my SL55 is 10 years old) is something great!

Well said @SL55K. @Weistec customer service has been nothing short of awesome.

$9k? That's pocket change when seriously modding AMG's...

Yes, but they want one that works. I think Wiestec is really good at what they do, BUT the customer service is not the same for everyone it seems.

And you don't have to tell me about pocket change. I do this for $#@!s and giggles. There was nothing wrong with my car, I just felt like starting over. But I've always been one to push the limits and raise the bar.

I'm not a customer and I get responses practically instantly. Any customer I refer has experienced the same. You have guys right here telling you their experience.

I know what you mean, we do this for fun. I'm just stating if you want to go further the blower upgrade is really a necessity. Compared to $15k+ M3 blower setups it's not priced badly and it is priced less than the M156 as well so they didn't price it blindly. I know $9k is a lot but look at what Brabus charges for a tune and headers. Weistec all of a sudden looks like a huge value.

Were you treated badly or something? Was there some kind of mishap? I'm sure it's nothing that can't be repaired with communication.

Again, that speaks for their customer service. Treated badly? Mishap? Don't think so. I wouldn't trust Wiestec to put air in my tires.
